Sometimes travel tests your patience. The ones that keep up with the More Passport Stamps Twitter account will know that I am currently in the Maldives (alright for some). However, often you have to go through hell to get to heaven. My original plan was to get a lift to Birmingham Airport, fly with Emirates to Maldives (via Dubai) then get a seaplane to Meedhupparu, my first Maldivian destination.

I wanted to stay in a 5 * hotel in Budapest, and there are a few options. After much deliberation and research I opted for the Corinthia. It was to be one of my favourite business trips to date, and this post is my complete and honest review of the Corinthia Hotel in Budapest.

On my recent trip to Budapest with some friends, I had the opportunity to work with BeersOnWheels Budapest, a beer bike company in Budapest. I had never even been on a beer bike, so I was definitely excited to review Beers On Wheels Budapest!

My friend turned 40 recently and as such decided to have a lads holiday in Benidorm, Spain. It has a reputation for being a mini-Britain and some see it as the homeland of smut and cheap alcohol. It had never been on my list, but it’s my friends’ birthday and we go where he says. My job is to find out if there is more to Benidorm than being a warm version of Skegness.

I’ve not long got back from a short break in Puerto Del Carmen, Lanzarote, and thought it would be handy to make a quick guide of the do’s and don’t’s, complete with some mini reviews, so you know what to do in Lanzarote.
